King Cakes
We have gone through a couple so far and I have managed to avoid the baby. :-)
Smith's piece is amusing but he is over the line IMO. It does illustrate the perception of similarity between the ultra left and fascism and it also demonstrates his own pure self image, incapable of any such evil.
I love those old movies and I think they capture the nobility of our species regardless of political philosophy. In the crunch, most of of us in the middle will lay down our lives and burn the farm before we yield to dark forces, from whatever direction they come.
Unfortunately, Smith's retreat shows how polarized we could become.
